Investment thesis
Hat-Trick Capital takes a research-driven, founder-first approach to early-stage investing, supporting companies from pre-seed to Series A with checks of $500K to $3M. The firm concentrates on three sectors: agentic AI (enterprise copilots, autonomous agents, AI infrastructure, developer tools, and B2B/B2C AI), robotics (autonomous vehicles, warehouse automation, service robotics, hardware-plus-AI stacks, and embodied intelligence), and consumer technology (AI-powered experiences, consumer platforms, last-mile and logistics, creator economy, and adtech/martech). It brings domain expertise and an operator network to help founders refine MVPs, reach product-market fit, and drive early growth.
